Serious question: If you asked your child what you do for work… What would they draw? This is what a 10-year-old thinks Lotek does. And honestly — he’s right. Drop a 🐾 if you work in conservation. Drop a 🎨 if you’ve ever been reminded why you do what you do. Let’s hear it. #LotekTelemetry

🦃 How many poults (baby turkeys) can you spot? This 🍁 #Thanksgiving, we’re celebrating wild turkeys. Biologists at the Wisconsin DNR use #PinPointIridium GPS transmitters to track 🐣 nests,🐤 broods, & 📍movements. 📸 Chris Pollentier, WI DNR #LotekTelemetry #WIDNR #AdvancingWildlifeTelemetry

Motus is a collaborative research network that allows researchers to understand the ecology of migratory birds. The tags use radio telemetry to determine the location of tagged individuals, where this research can greatly contribute to understanding avian migratory patterns and behaviours. 2/6

We’ve started Motus tagging Jack Snipe this week as a part of the Motus Tracking Project! Last week, 3 Jack Snipe were tagged in the @ldvnnr.bsky.social , and now we have captured and tagged an individual here at Spurn! 1/6 📸 C Foote

Good piece about the Motus network. I think there's a real opportunity for bird clubs to set up stations - the cost is <$2000. You can use the map here to see what coverage looks like where you are: motus.org/data/receive...

Great to team up with @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social in a joint Motus Tracking Project on Jack Snipe (supported by @britishbirds.bsky.social). The first birds were tagged in the #LDV last night and we're now looking forward to seeing what results this project unearths @naturalengland.bsky.social

Brand new!! We studied 2 populations of Rusty Blackbird in eastern North America using NanoTag transmitters (Motus Tracking System) to determine migratory routes, stopover locations, & wintering areas. Huge kudos to Jacob Walker for having greatly led this work! academic.oup.com/condor/advan...
academic.oup.com
Euphagus carolinus (Rusty Blackbird) from two different breeding populations in northeastern North America exhibit chain migration yet use the same region for stopover
Abstract. Bird populations within the same species may follow different migratory strategies and phenology depending on their breeding location and latitud
